Halloween

Halloween night didn't disappoint!  Our friends Ricky & Dalia came over dressed as "Matt & Jenna!"  They were hysterical... both had on blonde wiggs & glasses similar to ours.  They were both wearing typical Sunday clothes the real Robinson's commonly wear (Ricky even said he wore orange for Auburn).  "Matt" was also carrying fake physics & theology books while holding a cup of ice to chew.   Note to all you creative costumers:  Dress up like the hosts you are going to see - it was so funny!  Our friend Jason (the Sing guy), his wife Erin and his drummer Scott were here over the weekend and Jason showed off his Wizard costume before heading off to Pigskin (a Baylor Homecoming tradition).  Matt was a Master Card ad and I threw on a neon green moo-moo (thank you Heather!), purple fuzzy slippers and put sloppy rollers in my hair.  Stephanie also came over and we all made our way to the porch to eat our chili and pass out candy around 6:30.  It was a blast seeing all the costumes & hearing the funny things some of the kids would say.  Such as... after Steph prompted one little girl to say "trick-or-treat" by asking her, "what do you say?" her immediate & bold reply was, "I want that one," as she pointed to that one.  At 7:25, less than one hour later, we were out 10 lbs of candy and had about 400 trick-or-treaters come by!!!  We turned the crowds away, locked the door and walked around for a while to partake from the sidewalks.  What a bizarre, but fun tradition.

Matt carved Yoda (& later The Joker).  I'm a traditional jack-o-lantern girl.

Enjoying our chili on the front porch.

We had 3 jack-o-lanterns and a black light... and 10 lbs of candy.
(The little boy walking up had fake tattoos ALL over his arms.)

The cars & crowds in front of our porch.

The line for candy in front of our porch - crazy!

Those crowds are WILD! We saw big crowds where we were trick-or-treating with friends, but nothing like that!! What a tradition!! They really like dressing up around there!

Your friends dressing up like you was a riot and very creative!!! Sounds like a fun weekend!!
